Amendment of habitat conservation notice
61 Amendment of habitat conservation notice
The CEO may, by written notice given to each person bound by a habitat conservation notice, amend the notice by —
extending the period within which a requirement contained in it is to be complied with if the CEO is satisfied that the circumstances of the case justify the extension; or
removing or amending any requirement contained in it.
The CEO must, before exercising the power conferred by subsection (1), give each person bound by the habitat conservation notice a reasonable opportunity to show cause in writing why the power should not be exercised.
An opportunity is not a reasonable opportunity for the purposes of subsection (2) if a person is given written notice of the person’s right to show cause less than 21 days before the day on which the CEO exercises the power referred to in that subsection.
